Benjamin Tod came up playing street corner string music with his underground roots outfit called the Lost Dog Street Band. But recently he’s gotten a burr under his saddle about the state of country music.
Those who were worried that they’d heard the last from the Lost Dog Street Band and their frontman Benjamin Tod, you’ll be happy to learn they’re not done yet. In fact, the Lost Dog Street Band has expanded its lineup.
The title of this Benjamin Tod solo project called Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing is to be taken literally. Comprised of 10 songs recorded in only six hours, some of the tracks were written as long as 10 years ago, while others are more recent. What binds them all together is how Tod shelved them all.
